That looks amazing! I want to go to Sydney so bad now. I just saw this funny video of a guy who may be almost as obsessed with Dr. Who as I am: itsasickness.com/lounge/tim-sheridan-obsessed-doctor-who. I think you guys would appreciate it.

Yes, what a wonderful course, something that I would have fought to get into when I was 17/18 … I even made my own Dr Who movie back then … we were so robbed during our youth without all these amazing opportunities!

I agree Scott, while it’s good having Doctor Who, Star Trek and the others, there isn’t really any Australia sci-fi. Although you could argue Farscape was Australian but it had to co-produced with an American company. I reckon we’ll be long in our graves before we see a fully Australian sci-fi series in prime time, that isn’t aimed at young children, like Silversun was or The Girl From Tomorrow.

Jokes aside, it is a savage indictment of the Australian television industry that we do not have a science fiction television series to call our own. Networks are under no obligation to show factuals, informercials or game shows, but they simply do not have the right in my view to not have a solid dramatic science fiction franchise that we can call our own.

Lol shame they couldn’t use an Australian Sci-Fi show for this – oh hang on there isn’t one! Mind you nice to see Australians catching up with the rest of the world – a friend in Cardiff is currently studying Who at University (well the music of Who).
